REVISED Weekend Estimates 6/14--6/16: Man of Steel OW $116.7M($128.7M including WM)

[The Futurist]

So for every numer, you have to substract 12m.

 

This is not doing 100m ow.

 

Wall Mart fudging is like Puerto Rico fudging on a global scale.

Isn't this Walmart thing like cheating?

That seems like a huge start to me. Of course, many will find it disappointing. Too bad for those people.

6.5 M FAF Vl

9.0 M MOS

It all counts.Im shocked that ANYONE would think 9 mill is just ok. How mch did Avengers do? Go find the midnught number from any other film not named Potter or Twilight and this is gigantic.

Whooooo Hoooooo!

 

Also, the midnight number is pretty freaking fantastic, especially considering 1. The audience for Superman skews older than most other superhero movies and 2. Without such a large number of people seeing Wal-Mart screenings, it would have done about 13 or 14 million from midnights alone. That's huge.

The Walmart thing is annoying because I assume many people who used it would have paid to see it normally anyway.

 

It doesn't matter, by the end of the weekend it'll be obvious how popular the film is.

It is and this week end is one big lie.

12M from the Walmarts? I thought they were 8M-ish

 

9M is a good number

People were willing to pay. Let them decide when they want to see it.

Looking at DMC/SM3 a 50M OD is in play?

[Jack Nevada]

[kayumanggi]

lol at people disappointed by the 9 M number. IRON MAN ll only made 7.5 M.

[Alpha]

This however, needs to hold well over the weekend. Currently, with TDK legs, this would debut to only $79M.

 

However, with Father's day, this should definitely exceed $85M.

Its not fudging. Walmart bought them and sold them to their cutomers. And in what Solomon Grundy world is 9 mill mdnights not good?

[#ED]

So wait, people are saying 12M shouldn't count now?

 

Tell that to every movie since TDKR that counted previews to the OW.

 

Now we bitch.

[Jandrew]

Then dont follow it.

Why are those your comparisons?! Sequels to monster hits

 

But yeah, I guess 50M is possible
